The forty-seventh hadith informs us about one of the signs of Allah allowing a servant to go astray. That sign is the servant being granted what they want in this world despite them being engaged in sin. The forty-eighth hadith highlights the responsibility that comes with wealth. Everyone will be asked about the wealth they were granted in this life and how it was spent.
